Jack Kent Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship 2020

I’ve submitted all of my college applications so I feel like I can breathe a bit better now. I didn’t get an email for an interview with JKCF yet. They did send me an email to send in an additional supplemental document for my css profile. I hope that them asking for more info is a good sign.

How is everyone else doing on their applications?

I hope you all are not stressing out too much. In the end we can only do our best. We will end up where we are meant to be. As long as we retain our dreams and determination we will still go on to do amazing things.

@WhiteWoolf thats awesome, I wish I could say the same. I’m currently racing against the clock and have 3 whole applications to finish by tomorrow. 2 of them are very easy and are basically finished but one of them is like half way finished and is a little more tough. can’t wait to finish and move on to the march 15th deadline schools.

Also I hope you get the email, hang on my friend.

Ughh… I feel your pain. My current commitment load is 14-16 hours per day. These last minute notifications that I could get into these amazing colleges, while wonderful, is a great burden. I feel like my entire life is being dictated by these few weeks.

Hang in there everyone!

is the common app not working for any of y’all either? Its been acting weird and not letting me access the essay input section for almost two hoursssss

@kb199977 - yah mine didnt load for 3 hours - i called common app and they kinda fixed it but it is still buggy right now - best of luck :frowning: im sorry

Hey, anyone other than @BigHero going to PTK Catalyst? I’d like to host a dinner for people on this thread one night during the conference. I’d love to connect in-person with others! Let me know if you’re interested and we can plan it.

I went last year and there’s a little time after the conference activities to plan social networking events. We can plan a dinner around the other important things if y’all want to. If you don’t want to publicly post, send me a PM!

Has anyone completed their interview already? Mine is tomorrow and I’m kind of worried ?

@ml94ml mine is today in a couple of hours. I’ll update y’all after

Hi all! Did anyone hear from the PTK scholarship team about any awards today?

Yes, so exciting! @iggywiggly I’m sure I’m out of JKC by now though…

@Brobro111222333 yayy! What did you get?

And I don’t know. The Foundation is notoriously unpredictable and vague. For now, we are all just semifinalists!

Any way it winds up, though, the PTK scholarships are a wonderful honor! Congrats!

I made it to the PTK All-USA team! Also, apparently I am the top student in my state. This came as a big surprise to me.

Hurrah for ptk!

Congrats everyone! Today I was selected as a Gold Scholar for the Coca Cola Academic Team. I wanted All-USA but I guess you can’t win them all, just happy I won something!

Congrats @spicymustard !!!

Guys, this is so exciting!

@spicymustard Congrats! What a great achievement!

@kb199977 I’m in the same boat. Gold Coca Cola Scholar! Woot! I was crossing my fingers for All-USA too, but either way I’m proud of both of us!!

@iggywiggly OMG YAY! SO happy for all of us, but especially happy that we are both Gold Scholars for Coca Cola!

Congrats everyone, you’re awesome!

@iggywiggly I got All USA and New Century Pathway! But also got rejected from my safety school today so…there are ebbs and flows!

@Brobro111222333 congrats/ sorry about the rejection, you’ll be good though! What state if I may ask? I wanna know who won All-USA for my state lol

@Brobro111222333 man, I’m sorry about your safety school. My PTK advisor was on the All-USA Team many years ago. She said she got e-mailed scholarship solicitations from all types of colleges after the list was published. She said she even got a full ride to Texas A&M!

You will be FINE. Schools want All-USA team members. Congrats on this great accomplishment, it’s one of many in your future!

You guys are making me feel so much better, thank you @iggywiggly and @kb199977 ! I’m sure many more rejections will come, but hopefully many more acceptances for all of us as well.
